Searching for upholstery?

September 5th, 2011 · 7 Comments · Architecture, Design, Interior Design, Woodwork

While searching for new upholstery for our (Artifort) living room couch I came across the website of MEG O’HALLORAN DESIGN. Boy do they have beautiful fabrics …

And not only fabrics, MEG O’HALLORAN DESIGN is a collaborative design-make studio specializing in modern furniture, carpets, and upholstery fabrics.

Leading lady Meghan O’Halloran was trained as an architect at Cornell University in Ithaca NY and this is what she says about her work:

 “How do we work? Hands On. We like to make paper models, draw sketches, and build things. Not everything comes from a computer, and not everything comes without it. We seek balance in our designs. Traditional in some regards, and unexpectedly modern in others.”

MEG O’HALLORAN DESIGN has a beautiful website and also a shop

Ps What type of Artifort do you think we have in our living room?

    Ha, ha …I am afraid even my dogs lay on it .

    When you buy one of these they will last a lifetime. Bought mine secondhand but baby blue upholstery is not my thing.

    Love the red trees. As Erica says, the style of chair and the prints look great together. I put one in my shopping basket but when I got to the checkout I had to put it back, unfortunately!

    Oh, just has a look at the sofas. I like the Mare…Which one did you get?

  • Marion Pannekoek

    Yes Lois, I agree the Mare is very nice.
    I wanted to have a smaller couch this time so we went for the Ondo …

    If we only think sensible we don’t have much choice in upholstery because of the white hairs of Jigger, our never ending shedding hair dog. So we think about light heather gray in a coarse woolen fabric.

    Oooh, the Ondo is fantastic and will look amazing in grey. How did I miss this one!
